St. Edna ~ Sharing Sunday
Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
When Jim and I were going through training for the diaconate, we would meet regularly in a faith-sharing
group with other couples who were in our ordination class. One of the things we would talk about was our
“God moments”, times when we saw God’s love for us in the events of our lives. Our classmates were always
eager and excited to share their experiences. Jim and I were never very good at that. We never had much of
anything to say. Maybe we thought we could only see God in big things, and those moments only happen
rarely. I envied the others who could see God in small things. An act of kindness, a song on the radio, or a
butterfly on the wing, could be seen as God telling them that He loves them. They could see Him in the small
wonders happening every day.
In faith, we know that God is always with us and is showing us that He loves us. This is the God we have
been taught to call “Daddy”. As a mother, I know how many things I do each day out of love for my family. I
also know that my kids don’t always notice. Sometimes it can be hard to notice the quiet wonders that are
God’s reminders that He loves us. Our daily to-dos, our everyday worries, the ugliness we see too often in the
news can blind us. It’s hard to hear the quiet whisper in the midst of the storm. It can be hard to believe that
God is present in the middle of all this messiness. God can seem distant, because we can let the noise of our
lives drown him out.
However, with God’s grace, we can all open our eyes to His presence in our lives. I personally have been
trying to follow the Examen, which is a spiritual practice created by St. Ignatius. You carefully review the
events of the day to see God’s presence in them. I have been praying for the grace to help me notice. Slowly
my vision is becoming clearer. I can see God’s love for me through my daughter smiling and saying “Thank
you,” when I pay her a compliment or do a favor, in a caress from my husband, in my son sharing his day with
me. I even saw a butterfly on wing, just as I was wondering about whether God was around.
I hope that we all know that God is with us in the noise of our everyday lives, showing us His kindness and
His love. Our days are filled with quiet wonders, and with His grace, we can see each and every one of them.

Summer Mission
Sister Mary Ann Barnhorn of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur will be
speaking about the need for clean water in Africa at the Masses on
Saturday, August 24th and Sunday, August 25th.
Throughout Africa, there is a critical lack of clean water for drinking and
sanitation: Almost one billion people do not have access to safe water.
Next weekend a special collection will be taken to help the Sisters of
Notre Dame de Namur provide life-changing electricity and clean water to
the people in Africa.
Mary Ann Barnhorn entered the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1952 in Cincinnati. Early on she
taught elementary school, high school religion and adult religious education. She later developed
educational programs for pastors and pastoral associates throughout the country as a member of the
National Pastoral Life Center in New York. Also, she served as Executive Director of the National
Association of Church Personnel Administrators.
She has served in congregational leadership for 15 years, six as provincial, and most recently completed
21 years as mission advancement and development director for the Sisters of Notre Dame of the Ohio
Province. In addition, she has played an active role in the wider Notre Dame world, traveling throughout
the United States as well as to Europe and Africa.

HEARING LOOP
Through the generosity of a parishioner, St. Edna Parish has installed a hearing induction loop
system, allowing people who wear telecoil-equipped hearing aids or cochlear implants to hear
much better.
The induction loop system transmits the audio signal directly into the hearing aid via magnetic field,
greatly reducing background noise, competing sounds, and reverberation. Please sit in one of the
two middle sections of the church as they are the looped areas and be sure to turn your telecoil ‘on’.

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
(RCIA)
What is RCIA?
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is a process by which adults are fully
initiated into the Catholic Church. It primarily focuses on: Faith Development (rather
than mastery of doctrine) and maturing in one’s relationship with God and Building and
Nourishing, not only among the participants and leaders but within the parish
community and the universal Church.
Who is RCIA for?
RCIA is for any adult (18+ and out of high school) would like to be baptized Catholic, or become a Catholic
after having been baptized in another Christian tradition. It is also for adults who were baptized as Catholics,
but have not completed the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.
What is involved in the RCIA process?
Our group meets September through Pentecost (May/June). There are four stages involved in the process.
Inquiry - We begin to explore such areas as: What is Faith? Who is God and why does God care
about me? What are the roles of Mary and the pope? Why are there statues in the Catholic churches?
And more.
Catechumenate - Marked by the Rite of Acceptance this period of study reflects on so things as:
Catholic beliefs, prayer, participating in community worship, social events and charitable activities,
and the apostolic life of the Church. We will also begin breaking open the Word each Sunday.
Period of Enlightenment - Marked by the Rite of Enrollment this period focuses on the
Sacraments, deeper prayer experiences, Lent and the scrutinies which are celebrated during the
Sunday liturgies. The scrutinies focus on healing, conversion and reconciliation.
Mystagogy - this is the time after Easter up to Pentecost that focuses on a deeper experience of
prayer, understanding God’s word and the sacraments, social justice issues, ministry in the parish.
If you or someone you know has expressed an interest in joining the Catholic Church our first
INQUIRY NIGHT will be Tuesday, September 3rd at 7:00pm in the Community Room.

Stewardship Bulletin Reflection
August 18, 2019 — Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
JER 38:4-6, 8-10; PS 40:2-4,18; HEB 12:1-4; LK 12:49-53
Today’s readings set a high bar for us Christian stewards, reminding us that a stewardship way of life is meant be a
challenging way of life.
In the second reading, from the Letter to the Hebrews, we are told to live as Christ lived. And how did Christ live? “For
the sake of the joy that lay before Him He endured the cross.” If we are tempted to complain about the sufferings we
must endure in living as Christ’s disciples, we are told, “In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the
point of shedding blood.” In other words, “If you’re not bleeding, what are you complaining about?” That is quite a high
bar!
The Gospel reading from Luke continues this challenging theme. Our Lord tells His disciples “I have come to set the
earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing.” A couple of verses later Jesus adds, “Do you think that I have
come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.”
Jesus’s life on this earth and the message He brought were not meant to simply make us feel good. In fact, His words
can make us downright uncomfortable at times. That’s because His Good News (and it is indeed good news!) Is meant
to change us, to make saints of us.
The stewardship way of life sets a high bar indeed. But deeply embraced, this way of life focused on God and others
will make us the saints we are called to be.
